Charges That He Deprives Workers of State Their Rights Under Law. m 44 Arooe fVin DrAVOrPAf O f tlllS I TV lXUl^ag, VUV ^vt vtMv*, VIA. State has, by the exercise of his veto power, vetoed the appropriation for the purpose of employing factory inspectors, thereby practically nullifying the law and depriving the workers of the protection previously af' forded them; ''Therefore be it resolved, That this body put itself on record as being opposed to this policy of the governor and condemning any action tending to deprive the workers of their rights . and the protection of just and necessary laws." This resolution condemning the action of Gov. Blease in vetoing the | appropriation for the factory inspectors, was adopted by the City Federation of Trades and will be sent today to Gov. Blease. H. J. Hardy, secretary of the City Federation of Trades, went to see . Gov. Blease several days ago concerning the factory inspection law. Gov. Blease, according to Mr. Hardy and \ Senator Weston, got mad and slapped \ ------ - - I organized labor in the face. That is j the statement made. Gov. Blease said yesterday that he j knew more about the condition of j the factory people and their needs! than any representative of a labor organization. Mr. Hardy said that Gov. Blease "got hot under the collar." Wanted Conference. P. H. Weston, senator from Richland county, accompanied Mr. Hardy on his visit to Gov. Blease for the purpose of introducing him. Senator Weston desired to confer with Gov. Blease to see if some provision could not be made for the enforcement of the factory inspection law. Senator Weston and Mr. Hardy said that Gov. Blease stated that he would veto any measure tending to rnamlafa + Vi hnnro nf fVio lohnrinff lCfeUiait tut uuuio v/i tuv iwv/| man. When Gov. Blease was asked! as to the law regulating the hours; of women in stores he is reported to j have stated to Senator Weston and ' i Mr. Hardy that the women might get out and hunt other employment. Statement from Mr. Hardy. H. J. Hardy, secretary of the City I Federation of Trades, yesterday made the following statement in which he severely attacks Gov. Blease: "On Monday I, in company with Senator Weston, visited the governor | V t fact, we do not b Duth Carolina.

The governor stated that his reason for so doing was that he considered the factory inspectors absolutely worthless and a waste of the State's money. He further added uiai ne wouia auena 10 mat, leaiuni of the law himself and in his own way. Ke further stated that he would veto any and all labor legislation that might come before him where such legislation sought to improve or alleviate the conditions of any man or woman over the age of 21 years. "He said that every man and woman who had attained the age of 21 was a free moral agent and could look out for him or herself. Any man or woman who was net satisfied with their condition or the safeguards placed around their employment or their hours of labor could quit their position, but they need not look to the law to help them as long as he was in the governor's chair. "Asked as to how this might work when applied to the working women and girls who might be subjected to hardships which they might be powerless to avoid, the governor stated that they did not have to work under those conditions as there was plenty of other work they could go to, though when pressed for the source of this work he did not answer. He further gave me to understand that neither I norr.any other outsider need come to him with any complaint, that the man or woman affected must come to him personally or no action would be taken.

X u in J mind this action of the chief executive in assuming the duties of others where the law does not provide for such assumption is merely in keeping with his announced policy of interpreting the statutes to his own liking regardless of law or justice. This action, of the governor's will be bitterly contested by organized labor and will only serve to bind us closer together in our next election and "the next man will have to prove that he is with the workers in more than name."?

Negro whp Shot Conductor One of the Victims. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 25.*?Bob Jones, the negro who fatally shot Conductor W. W. Thompson, at Camak, on the Georgia railroad, Thursday night, was taken from the Warren county jail at midnight by a mob of about 200 infuriated citizens and lynched. John Veazy, another negro in the jail, who was charged with the murder of C. E. Tarham, two months ago, was also lynched. The mob then quietly dispersed and this morning Warrenton was as quiet as a small town can be. The negro who was with Jones at the time Capt. Thompson was shot has not vet been annrehended and the mob took advantage, of Sheriff Brinkley's absence with his posse looking for this negro to enter the jail and lynch Jones and Veazey. At 11 o'clock this morning the two negroes were still hanging from a tree near the town, their bodies riddled with bullets. Work Done at Midnight. Mr. Fitzpatrick, a prominent citizen of Warrenton, said over the long distance telephone to-day that the mob entered the town about midnight and with a heavy instrument pried open the door of the jail. They took the negroes from their cells and quietly led them to the outskirts of the town. The next thing that the inhabitants heard was a fusillade of shots and then all was still. This morning the remains of the negroes were seen swinging from limbs of the same tree. It is stated that the mob was not composed of Warrenton citizens and Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that he did not know where they camfe from. Murdered Prominent Man. Much indignation was caused two months ago when John Veazey, one of the negroes lynched last night, is said to have murdered Mr. Tarham,a prominent citizen of Warren county. Xo Details by Railroad. The officials of the Georgia railroad have not received an/ details of the affair of last night, although they were informed early this morning by their agent at Warrenton that the negroes had been lynched. The search for the other negro, who was with Jones at the time Capt. Thompson was shot, continues, although it is not stated what chances there are for capturing him. i i 'V ''r > v- : ' ' - r .. x. ... .V-' vl.- 'i'- .v luch handsomer Druj cross the street froir any one may well fe< xtures of the latest tailed the fom Y/i iOIll A VJ ' SO, TOO, WHEN YOU SEE [ANDSOMER OR MORE E SHOULD HAVE THE NE] IAMBERG, 'WHEN MANY < NOT COMPARE WITH IT, FOR WE BELIEVE THE B t jcted St< GS, TOILET ARTICLES, ARRIED IN A FIRST-CLi AND THE PRICES REAS( ARE SURE FIXED TO DC RVICE YOU WILL GET ] NCED PHARMACISTS. .. >RUC ( . . i t J % I ROB POSTMISTRESS.

Arrested for Horrible Crime. Orangeburg, Feb. 22.?Last night John Moorer and John Glover, negroes, were lodged in the county jail, having been arrested charged with the murder of a negro woman and child in the Providence section of Orangeburg county on lasi Friday night. This horrible crime, that of murdering these unfortunate negroes and thpn hiirninp- the hrmcp in nn atfpmnt V"V i*VVX/***rv to hide their criminal acts, caused a great deal of sensation. The case has been pushed by Mr. Shuler, who lives in that neighborhood, and he thinks he has the guilty parties apprehended. One of the prisoners, the younger, states that he was in the house at the time of the shooting and was the one that fired the house, but the other negro, who is accused of the murder, says he was at home intoxicated and stoutly denies having any connection with the murder. The case will be tried at the May term of the criminal court for Orangeburg county.
